Adoption in Media
Just about everyday on television, the news or some type of gossip news
talks about adoption in hollywood. It is almost like a new trend that the
celebrities are trying to set. Not saying it is a bad thing to adopt at
all, but just questioning if these celebrities are doing it just for fame
or if it is truly something that they feel is the right thing to do.
One celebrity that is most heard about in adopting children the actress
by the name of Angelina Jolie. She has two adopted children from two different
parts of the world. Her son that she had adopted in 2002 was from Cambodia
and his name is Maddox. The daughter that she adopted in 2005, is named
Zahara and she is from Ethiopia.
Another major hollywood star named Madonna has also adopted a child from
Malawi. She adopted a boy from Malawi named David. He had been living in
an orphanage because his widowed father could not take care of him. David's
father was very happy to see his son get adopted because he knew his son
would be safe and not have to worry about having a roof over his head and
food on the table.
It is a great thing to adopt when you adopt a child in need, to be your
own. Though Angelina and Madonna are still a hollywood stars, who are in
the limelight. Is it in their best interests in the child if they adopt,
when in reality hollywood stars are always timed consumed with all the work
they have to get done. Making movies, shooting photos for magazines, and
attending award shows. This all means that they do not give enough time
that a child needs to bond with their mother. Is it good to leave your children
with the babysitter all the time? With the celebrities adopting there are
still both pros and cons to the situation.
